Good morning or afternoon or evening or midnight? Whenever you're listening to this podcast, I hope you're having a great time. This is the tarot talks with Edith-Mary and you may have noticed there's some new things happening with the podcast and my tarot practice. We have new podcast covers, new images, and a brand new website. 

I'm even including video, though not necessarily with this particular Episode, because frankly, I forgot to put on makeup this morning and you really don't want to see that. Having said that, I will be a certified hypnotist, very shortly, specializing in past life regressions, so you can look forward to more information about that. Today we're in this particular podcast, we are going to be covering judgment. The number 20 card from the tarot deck, or most decks, not all of them are numbered exactly the same. 

Judgment isn't necessarily what you would think about? Judgment being judgment in the Christian sense is people being called from out of the grave to ascend, and they will be judged for their actions. Well, that's not exactly what this particular card is all about. 

This card is about a call to hire service. No matter whatever your belief is about the afterlife, it is about a call to higher service. 

It is about stepping it up to the next level. It is about Beginning that volunteer service, it is about answering the call. To be a better human to help other people step it up, to be a guide, a mentor. 

In general, that is what it means-- where you do that specifically is up to you. Do what you desire, with whatever organization you decide to spend your energy and your time. In addition, it is a call to look at our lives very deeply. 

See where we can improve, where we can take a look at our actions. Do our words and our actions/deeds match.

If our actions and our words do not match, basically makes us into a liar. For lack of a really nice politically correct term. If your words and your actions don't match. You are a liar. Your words will never have meaning if they do not match your actions/deeds so you can say all you want. Oh, yes, I'm going to do that. I'm doing this. I'm doing that. But your actions prove otherwise, your actions are what speaks the truth. 

So it is a call to take a really deep look at how you are spending your energy, how you are presenting yourself into the world, because if you're not presenting yourself with integrity, you're also not living in integrity. So it's a chance to really look at that and to reassess not judge but reassess. Do we need to learn something new? 

Do we need to learn anger management? Do we need to learn NLP? Do we need to learn how to listen, do we need to learn better management skills so that other people aren't anxious or stressed out when we walk into a room.  We've all had that one coworker or boss we've all been terrified of. What have you modeled yourself after in your life?

It is also a time to stop judging yourself and to stop judging others.  All of us have things we perceive in others as wrong.  We look at people, go oh, my God, look at that dress isn't that awful or look at that tie or oh my God is he showing off with that car. Those are all judgment statements. When in reality, we should be saying, oh, she must really like trendy clothing, or his tie is like super abstract, isn't that really cool? And that car, isn't that wonderful he can afford that kind of a car, that is great. 

One set is judgmental; another set is everybody gets to live their life the way they want. I don't have a say about it other than hey, I'm happy for you. So when we can reach that point in our lives, when we can go, I'm happy for you.

Welcome! Thank you for joining me on another episode of Tarot Talks with Edith Mary, also known as Edith Babbling over Tarot cards, which I absolutely love to do.

Today's episode will be the moon. The moon, is a lovely thing. I love to sit out and meditate to the moon and the full moonlight just sort of shine on me and heal me because the moonlight is a reflection of sunlight. There would be no moonlight without the sun. So you are still getting a gentler version of the sun when you're out moonbathing.

It can also, when it shows up in our reading, represent the time when we need to let loose, when we need to just let our hair down and howl at the moon and just run them up for a couple of minutes.

It's a good time for prayers. The full moon is, well, anytime is a good time for prayers. But specifically the full moon is a good time for gratitude prayers for what you've received. Knowing that you will receive even more.

What is it the new moon brings you? What is it that makes the moon drive you crazy?

Period. Why do we go crazy during a full moon? Police and for other first responders will also tell you that there's more emergency calls during the time of the full moon, that there are more crises during the time of full moon. A lot of people will become a little different during the time of the full moon. You know when it's coming because of the way they're acting. Period. They get a little Weird.

they or some people, not everybody, but some people, it is a sign that their crazy is coming out. Well, maybe the crazy has always been there. Maybe that's what the moon card is now representing, that we have some mental health issues that we need to resolve, whether it be simple, need a little bit of therapy for a couple of times and everything will be okay to some really heavy-duty psychological problems. Anxiety, depression, bipolar, it all comes out in the Moon card. It all comes out in the warnings of the Moon card that if you don't stay in balance, this is what can happen. And we become easily overwhelmed and we break down. And that is what the Moon card is trying to warn us against to stay in balance because the Tarot is all about balance. It's not just one thing or another.

It's also a warning that yes, an episode may be coming on, but maybe we should take steps to avoid it in the first place. Maybe it is a warning to not let things drive you crazy, to do the self care. to do the healing so that other people don't become that bothersome.

It's also be: don't be so straight-laced, it's time to party. This is the full moon for heaven's sakes, let's go have a party.

It also addresses your psychic abilities. It addresses the need to sharpen them, to develop them, if you want to, you certainly don't have to. But it can heighten your sense of what's going on in my life by developing those psychic abilities, even if it's just your intuition is still a psychic ability.  And you can use that intuition to redirect your life for more positive outcomes.

You can like redirecting the tides to a more positive outcome so that you don't get flooded. Our intuition is exactly like that. Redirecting our lives so we don't become flooded with all kinds of negativity and yucky people because you don't need yucky people making you even crazier.

It also shows, because there is something wild and something domesticated in the card, and almost all decks, it shows both sides of our personalities, both sides of who we are. Because one is strength and one is reason.

The star card is about inspiration, hope, renewal, balance, being above it all. We have this opportunity to heal, to just simply step back and relax and enjoy life for a moment. Or take the time to go to the day spa, go get your hair cut, do something that makes you feel good. And gentlemen, you need to go to the day spa too. It's not just the ladies. Again, we have the imagery of water. In some cards, the woman is pouring water out of a jug into a stream or a lake and in others she's standing in it halfway like one foot in and one foot out. So it's the same symbology as being in the flow and receiving healing while being anchored and safe on land or wherever it is. Home is a nice anchor as well because that's where you're safe. You can set aside the mundane work for a while and just Feed your spiritual needs while you're feeding your earthly needs. You can do both at the same time healing and being in balance.

The stars that are in most decks above the lady's head represents lofty heights as usual spiritual ascension spiritual understanding spiritual enlightenment she has there's generally trees around her and water of course it all represents nurturing and healing staying anchored while you heal Healing itself becomes something anchoring.

It can be very emotional because there's water, there's always emotions, but it can be emotional healing, which means we're healing from depression, we're healing from anxiety, we're healing from a broken heart. We're still maintaining some balance, but it's a time of rest and of healing. So there's really no downside to it. We're being grounded and we're being cleansed at the same time. You have strong mind-body-spirit connection. And we're happy, we're doing what we're supposed to do, balance has been achieved, we're but on vacation. So maybe it's time to come back from that. Maybe it's time to bring that peace with you into your everyday life. Bring the healing with you so that when you return from that retreat or when you return from vacation or that spiritual growth that you've just had, you can carry it with you like a cloak that it becomes part of who you are.

If the star is in the shadow position, it could represent that we're not feeding ourselves the way we should. We're slightly out of balance, but the possibility to be back in balance is still there. We've maybe lost a little bit of our connection to spirit. We're maybe letting go of our sense of self. We're spending way too much time doing spiritual work and we're ungrounded. And sometimes it's a we have to acknowledge our pain before we can even heal it. We have to admit we have a headache before we go get a painkiller. We have to admit our feelings were hurt. We have to reconcile to the fact that you can't heal it if you don't feel it if you don't admit to it if you don't own up as it were.

In that acknowledgement is also the healing. Yes, I've been hurt, now I can move forward. I don't have to live in that pain anymore. I can let it go.

So that's the downside of the star card. There isn't much of one, but it's just a call to heal yourself. Something's not quite right and the questions that you need to ask yourself or why are you not in balance? Why are you choosing this? Why are you choosing to sit in the darkness instead of the light? .....

the Devil Card is always about struggle and conflict, whether that be addictions or struggle with in your relationships or working in two different directions pulling against one another.  it can be spiritual struggle that you can’t quite come to terms with the direction you’re going or what you have to do to get there or miscommunication with spirit.   what we have to do is look at the consequences of the struggle that we’re in whether it is overindulgence in an activity Or a substance.   We are still too far to one side the pendulum has swung too far one direction and has to come back to center There can’t be one way or the other it has to be a balance and the devil card when it comes up says that something in your life is out of balance are you have you fallen into depression have you forgotten to take your medication are you not willing to take your medication to stay in balance are you anxious all the time and you’re not doing anything to help you’re not be anxious by doing the deep breathing exercises or whatever it is you do to help with your anxiety We are a bit out of control we are eating too much eating too much of the wrong things we’re drinking too much ah drinking too much alcohol is what I mean We are out of balance we are not our pendulum is too far one way or the other and the double card brings that to focus it can also mean that you are Especially in relationships you are beginning to separate from the relationship with A person with a job with an entity or a business you’re beginning to question them you’re beginning to have conflict with them you can’t get anybody on the phone you can’t get the right answers from the IRS you can’t Get any answers at the state level you can’t get any answers from your bank and you’re just an incredible conflict with them in most cards there’s two people hanging out Not looking at each other they’re not working together so in relationships it may be means that the relationship is starting to go south and not working for either one of you anymore there’s the inner struggle which addictions are a outward sign of the struggle within it is anger gone too far we addicted to the anger are we addicted to pacifism Too much of one thing is bad that’s where we have balance coming in the devil can also bring us to doubt it brings us to uncertainty and are we about to fail are we about to fall over are we about to do something that is contrary to what we know is correct or to what people are telling us incorrect are we so far depressed that we have to leave our our mates our spouses or we have to leave our jobs or the worst case scenarios do we need to leave this world so that out of balance that the devil calls us into to bring us down into a lower vibrating existence the double card signals that possibly you have reached rock bottom and that you can’t go any further and it’s a call to heal the shadow side of that is that you very well might be realizing you’re out of balance and you go to rehab realizing that the relationship really isn’t working and you go to counseling together..........

Good morning again. In this particular episode of tarot Talks with Edith Mary, we are going to be doing the Death Card today. The Death Card never ever ever means death of the physical body, though it can. I've never seen it in the years that I have been reading tarot. It does, however, mean that death is a part of our existence every single day. We die, we're one day closer to death every day.

Our skin cells die, our hair cells die. We transform and change because we are a different person today than we were yesterday. And tomorrow we're going to be an even different person, simply because the experiences we go through change us and we transform because of it. So change is a two-way street. You can change your mind frequently and hopefully you do change it towards a higher purpose, but you don't have to.

Transformation, however, is one direction and one direction only. You can transform yourself from that chrysalis into a beautiful butterfly or you can go the other way. If you want to transform yourself into a really nasty, horrible human being, you can. The choice is yours. I would, however, recommend transforming yourself in a more higher spiritual way.

We transform ourselves in many, many different ways. We get married, we have children, we change careers, we go back to school. All of those things are transformative. When something happens to us and forces our growth is something that is transformative. You should choose it because it's easier when you do choose.

Wildfires are very destructive, but what comes out of the wildfire is new growth. Some pine trees cannot seed until they're broke open, the pine cones are broken open by fire. So even in the destruction, there is beauty, there is new growth, and that is the way it happens with our lives as well. Anytime there is something that appears to be destructive, there is always something new and beautiful being created in the process. So never be afraid of what appears to be destruction or what appears to be doom and gloom. It isn't. It is simply making way for the better new things in your life.

So if death appears in a reading, major changes are afloat for the client.

These are life-changing events. Like we've already talked about, getting a job, getting married, getting engaged, getting, well, hopefully you got engaged before you got married, but you know, hey, who am I to say?

It's kind of like a soul shaking kind of change that's coming.

When you see the death card and particularly when you see the death card and the tower card together, there's a real danger of something destructive happening. When you see those two cards together, I would make sure you've got the fire department on speed dial so that you are prepared when the house burns down. It is that kind of dramatic thing happening.

but it doesn't have to be like that, that destructive and that emotionally traumatizing. You can make it a lot easier by realizing it is a phase, it is a thing, and you can move forward and you can heal and you can become that new person you were meant to be. Now, on a softer note, it doesn't have to be that dramatic. It can be as dramatic or as less dramatic as

The number 11 in most decks of the Tarot is the Justice card. Justice is normally seated in between two pillars. They're no longer black and white. They're all gray.

This card has to do with compassion, truth, honesty, and balance. Balance in all things. We need balance in all things specifically because if you're unbalanced, you're not thinking correctly, you're not acting correctly.

The gray pillars also indicate that we are seeing all of the nuances of a situation or have the possibility to see all of the nuances of a situation because you don't always know all of the details.

And so we sometimes are a little quick to justice or quick to judge when we don't really have all of the facts and we're speaking from a place of ignorance of the facts. So the Justice Card is also a warning to make sure you have all of your knowledge before you make a decision, which is a compassionate way of doing things.

Compassion lies between conviction and punishment. is neutral. Compassion is neutral because you can understand the pain from both sides. You can understand the hurt or the joy from both sides. But you're neutral with your own life and you're neutral with other people.

in your listening, in your day-to-day relationships, in your work relationships, you can remain neutral and understanding while still loving them.

In most decks, Justice is not blindfolded, but she is showing compassion with her Justice, weighing our hearts and intentions against a set of universal truths. Justice sees beyond the personal agendas, beyond revenge, beyond the action to act out, beyond the emotion that can be present.

As in, Justice likes to stay neutral, understanding both sides, not taking sides, just being neutral and listening. It's an opportunity when you see the Justice card come up to step back and observe without participating. Don't step into the drama that's being presented.  Don't step into other people's arguments.

You're not the judge, not the jury, you are the observer, the listener, the compassionate neutrality that most situations call for, especially if there are arguments or personal agendas going on.

The Sword of Justice is a double-edged sword and it cuts both ways. Honesty is much the same. The truth will set you free, but if stated with nastiness, the truth is meant to hurt rather than to heal. So no compassion is being used in a situation like that. The Justice Card always wants to state things from compassion and not emotion.

The Justice card also deals with the mundane world, legal matters, signing of contracts, illegal paperwork, all matters dealing with truth, honesty, and legality, which is very cut and dry, which is why Justice is a double-edged sword.

If the justice card is in a shadow position, you may feel that life is unfair, that people are against you, situations are not going your way, people are making decisions for you. You may feel personally under attack.

If you get to respond during this feeling of being personally attacked, is usually, not usually, but it's always from a place of pain. If you take a step back and go, this isn't about me, this is about the other person, and understand it from that point of view of their pain, you've stepped into compassion.

So it is always good that anytime that there is a two-sided conversation that is not going well, step back and listen with compassion and when it's time to speak, speak neutrally without blame and without shame. questions to consider when you are working with the Justice Card is, am I doing the right thing?

Has karma ever come back to bite me in the butt? And if so, how? And how did I participate in that? We always participate in karma. How a
